Toll Fares for CAR starting on 15 Oct 2015
This is a drastic increase of toll fare imposed recently eventhough less manpower manning to toll as users need to have a touch 'n go card to use most of the tolls now. Now the cost living hiking up drastically, now the govt pushing more cost for the public to bear.
PETALING JAYA: The Works Ministry has defended the toll hike, saying that the Government has already subsidised a large amount of toll so as to not burden the people.
In a statement, the ministry said the move was in line with the gradual increment of toll rates during the concession period.
It said the total compensation paid by the Government from 2008 to 2013 was RM1.1bil, and RM402.9mil for last year.
The ministry said the Government had also deferred the increase in eligible highways since 2008 in its efforts to reduce the people’s burden.
“The amount saved can be utilised to implement development projects that will have a multiplier effect on the economy,” it said.
The ministry said the money can be used to finance the resurfacing of existing roads, build more hospitals as well as schools.
It also defended the move by saying that the hikes were only for intra-city highways and not inter-city highways.
“The toll rate for buses will remain so as to encourage the use of public transport.
“This could potentially reduce traffic and road congestion,” the statement said

Will this work?
Eventually the royal families of Malaysia voicing out their concern directly to the government after the government been ignoring their own citizen voice of worries.
http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2015/10/07/Rulers-Settle-1MDB-issue-fast-Matter-could-jeopardise-our-economy/
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malay Rulers want the Government to complete the investigation into the 1Malaysia Development Berhad controversy as soon as possible and take “the appropriate stern action” against all found to be implicated.
In a statement, their royal highnesses stressed that all concerned should extend “real and sincere” cooperation for the investigation to achieve its objectives.
“The findings of the investigation must be reported comprehensively and in a transparent manner so the people will be convinced of the sincerity of the Government which shall not at all conceal facts and the truth,” they said.
The statement was released by the Keeper of the Rulers’ Seal, Datuk Seri Syed Danial Syed Ahmad, after the pre-council meeting of the Conference of Rulers at Istana Negara yesterday.
The 239th meeting of the Conference of Rulers is scheduled for today and tomorrow.
The statement said: “The failure to give convincing clarifications and answers is feared to have resulted in a crisis of confidence.
“As a consequence, the people believe, whether basing on reality or perception, that this is among the causes for the plunge in the value of the Malaysian Ringgit, impacting the country’s financial market and economic climate negatively and at the same time adversely affecting the world’s view of Malaysia.”
According to the statement, the Malay Rulers were worried that if the issue was not wisely handled, and was allowed to drag on, it could jeopardise the country’s economy and the livelihood of the people.
“To ensure that the Government enjoys the people’s trust, that leaders are respected, that political stability is guaranteed and that the economy continues to grow, all leaders must constantly ensure that justice is meted out equitably and transparently based on the law,” they said.
For this, the statement said, enforcement agencies and regulatory institutions such as the police, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, Bank Negara, Attorney-General’s Chambers and the Judiciary, as well as related government bodies, should be worthy of God’s trust and the people’s faith in transparency, credibility and integrity.
The Malay Rulers also wanted the leaders to give priority to factors of security, tranquillity, peace and harmony and place national and the people’s concerns above their personal interests.
“The Malay Rulers take seriously issues affecting race and religion and would like to remind leaders of political parties and non-governmental organisations not to sensationalise racial and religious issues to garner support,” the statement said.
Their royal highnesses said the long-prevailing inter-racial and inter-religious harmony and solidarity had been the main pillar for the stability of an independent, peaceful, progressive and prosperous Malaysia.
As such, they said, the harmony and solidarity of the people should be safeguarded at all times and never be sacrificed for shallow political aims. — Bernama

Dress Code in JPJ implemented, too strict?
How to DRESS when in JPJ (Department of Road Transportation in Malaysia), or else not entertain?
It is odd as people more emphasize on one's attire before they choose whether to service us? As long people as covering their private parts and dress appropriate is sufficient. Why not focus on making public lives easier by handling their main purpose of going to JPJ instead focus over their dress attire. Too much of time in hand?
If this case, can't the JPJ create online system where the public can do their errands at home where they are wear anything they like. This way, JPJ do not need to spend extra time on chasing those people not dress appropriate according to their requirement. Save time on both side.
Having government departments set out the do's and don'ts on personal attire is “totally out of line”, said former Minister Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz
“I don’t believe the focus should be on what the clients and the public are wearing. Focus on serving the public and attending to their problems,” she posted on Facebook early Wednesday.
Rafidah said the people should have a broader world perspective and consider the consequences of their actions. She also warned against viewing things from “very personal and often narrow perspective”.
She added that people in places of authority should never impose their personal preferences and norms on others as Malaysians live in a multiracial, multireligious and multicultural society.
“There are things you cannot dictate upon others. Your personal religious beliefs and interpretations, your perception of what is ‘good’ or ‘correct’ or ‘proper’. Your personal ideas of heaven or hell,” said Rafidah.
She also stressed on the pressing need to learn to “accept the diversities among us” and warned against causing unnecessary dissent by imposing “what is really none of our business to do” upon others.
Rafidah also did not believe that the focus on personal attire was a “Government policy or ruling”, but was instead the narrow-minded action of some people at an official level.
“The Government should have such rules rescinded immediately. And direct all departments to not overstep the boundaries of their jurisdiction and Clients Charter,” she concluded.

Driving with mobile became a trend without any fear being caught
Each time I'm on the road, I see more people looking at their mobile phone and devices while driving as if it is norm. It is so unsafe and no policeman ever bother to look into this situation anymore as most of the time the police only check road tax expiration date of each car.
Years ago, people are very careful not to be seen using their phone while on the road by the police officers. Now, just seem it is normal to see drivers just concern their checking their social updates on the road than really drive safely.
The main problem in driving here is getting dangerous like people driving way too slow on the highway, forgotten the traffic light has turn green as too busy chatting through apps on their phones, forgotten to turn on their headlight while driving at night as busy looking down at their phones at all times, taking selfies, turning into a junctions or into the main road with single hand as their mobile phones are more important than driving safely.
This is getting so annoying as some even play GAMES on their phone while driving. This is really most unsafe trend happening here.
This article even epic as need to go the flood affected areas and to take photos and shared to all.

IRB Tax evader barred leaving Malaysia till unpaid tax are paid
The IRB is on the hunt. Tax evaders – even those owing as little as RM200 – are being barred from leaving the country until they have paid their dues.
The officers have been very busy in the last few months. This year alone, the IRB has successfully recovered RM8.37mil (RM8,378,871.48) from those who had been planning to leave the country.
The IRB has engaged the support of the Immigration Department to enforce the travel “blacklist”.
“Whether the purpose of leaving Malaysia is for leisure, business or migration, the no exit order will apply to all tax offenders,” IRB corporate communications director Nor Azirah Mohd Said told The Star.
“The law explicitly says the IRB director-general may issue to any Commissioner of Police or Director of Immigration a certificate containing particulars of the tax, sums and debts so payable with a request for that person to be prevented from leaving Malaysia unless and until he pays up,” she said.
The authority to issue a stoppage order, or to blacklist a tax defaulter from leaving the country, is granted to the IRB under Section 104 of the Income Tax Act 1967 (Act 53).
The law allowing the IRB to do this has been in the books since 1967 but active enforcement has only been done in recent months.
Nor Azirah gave an assurance that tax offenders would not be held in detention at Immigration checkpoints but if the offender wished to continue on his or her journey, the person is expected to pay all liabilities.
Income tax from qualified citizens forms a substantial portion of the country’s income, with the amount being on the increase every year.
The IRB is chasing after 97,343 defaulters to get them to settle an accumulated unpaid tax totalling a staggering RM2.88bil (RM2,886,891,630.59). This year, 8,332 new names were added, with cumulative unpaid taxes totalling RM162.97mil (RM162,971,207.33).
Offences under a tax gap may occur in several forms, including non-payment or a deliberate avoidance of tax, as well as a false declaration of income tax returns which results in an under-payment of taxes.
Under the Act, any person who is found guilty of failing to furnish an income tax return may be liable to a fine of between RM200 and RM2,000 or a jail term not exceeding six months or both.
Any person who makes an incorrect return by omitting or understating income received may be brought to court and, upon conviction, be liable to a fine of between RM1,000 and RM10,000.
The offender may also be liable to pay a special penalty of double the amount of undercharged ta

Cadbury chocolate Incident only happen in Malaysia
On 25 May 2014, Malaysian Department of Islamic Development (Jakim) has suspended the halal certification of two Cadbury chocolate products that were found to contain porcine DNA.
[They were Cadbury Dairy Milk Hazelnut, with batch number 200813M01H I2 that expires on Nov 13, 2014 and Cadbury Dairy Milk Roast Almond, with batch number 221013N01R I1, that expires on Jan 15, 2015.]
On 2 June 2014, Malaysia Islamic Development Department (Jakim) has found no trace of porcine DNA has been found in two samples of Cadbury chocolate and they are therefore halal. Announcing this, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Dr Jamil Khir Baharom that the decision was based on tests carried out by a chemistry laboratory accredited under Jakim
Now they will "explain" to the Muslim over their announcement over found no porcine DNA after all the havoc and panic they have created after days. Good job! REALLY really GOOD JOB!! You think your explaination to Muslim can be forgiven and wipe off what you have done so easily? Another joke from Malaysia to the rest of the world is it?
One day say got porcine DNA, then later day say no porcine DNA. Seriously, how you test a product and what you announced out to public, it really affected the company reputation and public feeling.

GST
As our Malaysian govt going to implement the GST as of 1 April 2015, without burdening the poor families or low income earners like what Singapore Government doing?

1] DBKL’s revised Property Valuation notice sent out to owners in mid November will remain unchanged and notice of the assessment rates based on the new valuation will go out in January as required by DBKL by-laws.

Car Tyre Thieves
There are many different type of thieves around KL. Some enter into people home stealing their valuable stuff, steal their vehicles, rob the victims at any time.
As condomiums are sprouting everywhere, but limited car parks are allocated for each unit. Thieves are taking this opportunity to steal tyres of the cars parked outside the condos in the middle of the night. Each tyres cost is not cheap..and stealing tyres has been daily issue near my neighbourhood lately. Each time we see people standing next to their car, we just ask them...your tyres got stolen? how many tyres this time round...
These thieves are damn inconsiderate and just want to get quick buck. This is what we see daily. Last case was on Sunday, they stolen 2 tyres from this vehicles...and the owner replaced one tyre on the same day...and the thief came back and steal another tyre next day. In total they stolen 3 tyres from this car! It is very costly for any owner if the thief keep on stealing tyres as if they have all the right to do so.
Just to get fast income, you steal with your gifted hands, while others need to slog hard to earn a living and fork out to replace what you have stolen.

News I read lately in daily newspaper. Make me more confuse than ever.
General's Report revealed were among the lost police equipment worth RM1.3 million between 2010 and last year. Part of it where 29 police cars and 44 firearms went missing within short period of time for 2010 till 2012.
Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has stood by his police chief who had earlier contended that the 44 guns which had gone missing could have have fallen into the sea and dimissing speculation that the guns fallen in the hands of criminals.
Lets average out, where 2-3 cars and 3-4 firearm went missing every quarter, lost roughly MYR 108,000 quarterly. So our royal police force acidentally drop/slip/threw MYR 36,000 monthly into the ocean?
